Chapter 5: And so it begins
Santana stood there paralysed for a good 3 minutes just staring at where she had last seen Brittany's frightened eyes, now covered by the ceilings bricks and debris. She was breathing heavily, her fingernails dug into her palm and her knuckles white from how tight her fists were balled. Nobody dared to talk to her or go to her, it was to dangerous.
She closed her eyes and breathed in through her nose and exhaled through her mouth, she was on the verge of exploding in not anger but pure rage. The breathing technique wasn't helping. She was trying in vein to block out all the sounds. Mike and Sam tried to move some of the bricks, Quinn tried to calm herself by pacing, Tina was trying to hold back her sobs that were going to break through and Puck was laughing in disbelief and shaking his head.
Santana's rage rose, soon to hit its highest point when hearing the faintest whimper on the other side of the wreckage, she knew who it belonged to, blinking quickly to keep unshed tears at bay, she unzipped her satchel and took out two cigarettes. Lit one and took a long inhale of it, the cigarette was practically half way done from that one inhale and exhaled it slowly.
Quinn looked toward where the smoke was coming from and her eyes landed on Santana lighting up the next cigarette and inhaling. She pursed her lips worry etched on her face because she knows Santana only smokes when in dire need of it which hasn't been in a long while. Actually when she thinks back the last time her friend did smoke was when Brittany was in hospital because of a bad cheerleading fall and Santana blamed herself because she wasn't in practice that day.
But this is much worse because at least Santana could see Brittany in the hospital and hold her and comfort her whereas now they're in a dangerous building and spilt up, she can't comfort Brittany and visa versa.
Santana opened up her satchel again, took out her phone and looked at it just to see that she didn't have any signal to call anybody. She rolled eyes and placed it back in the satchel, she knew that there would be no reception in the damn building she's not even able to get emergency calls.
Mike and Sam seemed to have given up the efforts to try and move the blocked path because it was near in possible it was too much in the narrow hallway. Mike was consoling Tina as best as he could and Sam was trying to calm Quinn's pacing, Puck had finally stopped shaking his head and laughing and tried to call over to the others.
Rachel was the one to burst into tears first and sat on Artie to cry on his shoulder because he was the closest to her after Finn started trying to move bricks.
Kurt and Mercedes were consoling each other and Brittany had moved closer to the wreck she placed her hands on the bricks and a whimper tore through her throat as she pictured Santana moments ago, the scared look in her eyes. A silent tear trailed down her cheek, she took her phone from her waistcoat. No reception, of course. She placed her phone back in her pocket and shook her head.
She had been feeling really guilty and now it's reaching its peak… only if she hadn't agreed to this, why? Why? Did this have to happen, she felt like she was going to have some sort of panic attack she was over thinking, thinking about more things that could go wrong, thinking about not getting out of here, thinking about Santana getting hurt it was all too much. Her bottom lip trembled, more tears streamed down her face.
Finn soon realized that he was getting nowhere with the moving any of the bricks and stopped trying. Then the distinct voice of Puck was calling out to them from the other side. Rachel stopped wailing long enough to try and figure out what he was saying.
"Go back and take the other hallway" Puck said again moving as close as he could to the wreckage.
"Did you hear what I said?" he questioned and waited for a reply.
A faint "Yes, the other hallway" was responded by Kurt who had deciphered what he had said first.
"We will find you guys?" Mike said.
"Alright" was replied by Finn that time.
"S-Santana…" the voice was broken but it still travelled to there side of the hallway and Santana's head whipped up at the sound of it, it made her heart speed up and she held back her tears and curled and uncurled her fists to try and ease her fury.
"Britt. Brittany please be careful, I will find you and then we're getting out of here ok" Santana's voice held steady which she was grateful for. She waited for the broken reply and when she heard it she had started moving again.
She was going at quite a quick pace, at this moment in time she didn't give a shit about anyone other than Brittany and her safety.
"Santana slow down" it was Puck who had said it, she didn't want to acknowledge him right now she was so pissed already, she kept her pace the way it was and made a left when she reached the end of the hallway and continued.
Puck made a grab for her shoulder halting her movement "I said slow down" he uttered again.
It was so fast he didn't see it coming and all he felt was pain and a loud 'Fuck' left his mouth when Santana's fist connected with his left eye.
"Don't fucking touch me Puck this is your fault, you don't seem to understand the gravity of the situation right now, which is obviously because you're a fucking idiot!" she spat.
"All I have to say to you right now is watch yourself; you can take that as a threat as well as a warning" she said she didn't bother waiting for a reply and continued walking, Sam checked Pucks eye.
"That's gonna be a black eye man" Sam muttered. Quinn, Mike and Tina followed close behind Santana not saying a word.
Mercedes took hold of Brittany's hand and gave it a comforting squeeze; Brittany wiped her cheeks and tried her best at sending her a small smile. They all turned to walk back to where the hallway split. They were all quiet for the most part Rachel wasn't talking or even walking next to Finn, she was mad at him it was obvious. Kurt silently pushed Artie's wheelchair he still had the recorder and he decided that from when the explosion went off that he would continue to record until they all got out of there.
They had reached the split and to the left hallway they hadn't taken before. They were all hyper aware that there was barely any light down this hallway but they continued because there was nothing they could do about it. They got to the end of the hallway fairly quickly and where met with a door. Finn step closer and opened it warily.
They were met with a bathroom, it didn't have any sinks or mirrors just baths lined in four rows and columns. At the other end was another door. The all sighed with relief that it wasn't a dead end or anything.
They moved towards the other door weaving around the baths.
Finn opened the door again they looked left and right a horizontal hallway was presented to them doors running along either sides.
"This is getting to be ridiculous, how are they going to find us?" Kurt voiced as they stepped out into the horizontal hallway.
Rachel was about to speak when a loud rumble/crashing sound from down the left of the hallway got there attention.
"That was definitely another explosion" Artie announced.
"I wouldn't be opposed if those guards found us right now actually I'd welcome them with open arms to get out of this place" Rachel said.
They turned right and continued walking. Brittany started thinking back to when Santana had initially started freaking out and why she rushed to get them out of this place. She knew her girlfriend was already anxious to get out but something happened. Then it dawned on Brittany it was when she read the name of one of the patience…but why? What was so worrying about one of the patients?
Then it clicked Santana had told her about one of the patients escaping because it was on the news, could that have been it? She thought more as there small group continued walking. Why would she be worried about the patient escaping, they escaped so they could get away, why would they go back to the place they escaped from? Questions started up in her head. Why was it that the explosion went off then effectively splitting them up? And then another one down the hallway? She thought more then it dawned on her again. This time she chose to ask her question out loud.
"I thought demolitions blow up the whole building at once?" she uttered.
"That's true, isn't it? How come they're happening randomly in the building?" Mercedes said.
"I don't think they are random, I think they where on purpose" Brittany told them. They got to the end of the hallway and turned right because it was a one way hallway doors lined the right side of the wall.
"What do you mean done on purpose, who would do it on purpose?" Rachel questioned.
"The patient that escaped" Brittany's answer came out more of a question because she still wasn't entirely sure, but form Santana's reaction and assumptions that was her conclusion.
They all gave disbelieving sounds.
"I can't help feeling that someone is following us" Brittany said quietly.
"That's not possible" Finn said brushing her comment off as the continued down the hallway.
Brittany gave a sigh; maybe she was just really anxious and nervous especially with Santana not being by her side. She just hoped her girl was ok and would find them soon.
It was the fourth hallway now. Where the fuck are they? Santana was trying her best to be calm the punch she gave Puck let her release a little of her rage and anxiety but she had way too much clogging up inside her. She hadn't slowed her pace if anything she sped up a bit.
She turned left. Make that fifth hallway.
Quinn had tried to get her to slow a bit but she ignored her. They really didn't understand what was going on I mean its not that hard to understand, they're in danger to put it simply, but no they want her to slow down and stroll down these hallways like a motherfucking turtle.
She opened the door at the end of the hallway to be greeted by more of course. Doors lined the left side. She really felt like screaming at the top of her lungs until she didn't have a voice left. Please high power let me find her soon she begged.
"What was that sound" Artie said. It was there eighth hallway now and they where all getting really annoyed and more anxious because they had heard a couple noises, the most resent sounding like a door closing.
"Maybe its Santana and the others" Brittany said ever the optimist.
"Yeah or maybe it's that psycho" Finn uttered. They turned right and through swinging doors that were off its hinges.
"You said it wasn't possible" Brittany countered.
A loud bang sounded behind them and they shrieked in shock and fear turning around immediately.
Brittany's heart was racing she was sure the others hearts where to. Her face drained of its color when she saw shadow/outline of a person standing there in the dim hallway light. It was definitely a man, from her point of view he looked like a regular guy, but his presence wasn't welcoming or friendly his stance was very intimidating.
Run, Run…Run! She was trying to tell herself to move she was absolutely petrified the man just stood there looking at them but she found that he glance at her more than the others. None of the others had said or done anything they were frozen as well. Until the man took a menacing step forward, then Finn surprisingly spoke up but what came out of his mouth made the others silently curse wishing he hadn't said anything at all.
"Who the fuck are you?" Finn uttered in a less than friendly manner.
The man didn't reply but his next step faltered for a second surprised that one of them spoke, but he took his second step.
Brittany managed to get her foot to move half a step back discreetly. She was trying to keep her breathing under control. Santana, Santana where are you? She pleaded to herself; she was the only person she felt safe with.
From the corner of her eye she could see Rachel's hand trembling next to her.
Finn bravely and stupidly took a step forward. Much to the groups' disapproval, Rachel who was standing right behind Finn and out of the strangers view took a hold of his shirt from behind quietly begging him to not take another step.
"I came for my new mother" the man finally spoke; he sounded like an over grown child his voice was kind of normal but it had an edge to it that made it seem creepy.
"Dude your ill you need to take your meds and go home" Finn spoke again. Rachel tugged on the back of his top discreetly to try and stop him from talking; it was like he was trying to provoke the man, they didn't know what this man was capable of.
"I came for my new mother" the man uttered again looking directly towards Brittany.
She felt that burn/tingle sensation and swallowed the tear she felt coming on.
The man took another step his body was mostly turned in Brittany's directed but still facing the front enough to be able to look at all of them without having to turn his head.
"Just leave us alone we don't want any trouble" Kurt said trying as best as he could to keep the fear out of his voice.
Brittany tried to take another step back but this time it was more noticeable and the man zeroed in on her movement he took another couple step he was practically in front of her. He went to grab her, but he was fiercely pushed to the ground by Finn who shouted out to them to run.
Her breathing was quick as she took off down the hallway and turned left, a tear leaked down her cheek she made sure to take a quick glance back to see if the others where behind her.
When she checked again she was aware of two things, one she realized Finn and Rachel weren't behind her and she just tripped something… or someone. As she looked at her hands she was they where coated with blood, she looked to what she tripped over she found a dead guard on the floor blood everywhere. Her scream echoed in the hallways as she struggled to get up off the floor, she tried to keep her crying under control but it wasn't really working.
Santana stopped dead in her tracks; she knew that voice or more so that scream it was close. Her heart rate accelerated the others heard it to. That was her Brittany's scream she ran and turned the next corner. Her heart was beating a mile a minute the she was but who was that person not far behind her…
